Civil Infrastructure Faculty Research Groups

Geotechnical Engineering

• Gadikota Research Group
  Gadikota's research is directed towards applications that involve engineering the natural environment for sustainable energy and resource recovery and designing novel chemical pathways for advancing low carbon and negative emissions technologies.
   
• McLaskey Group
  McLaskey's research uses the analysis of waves in order to study material behavior such as earthquakes, faulting, friction, impact, and fracture.
   
• Nair Research Group
  The main focus of Dr. Nair’s group is to develop novel cementitious materials and testing techniques. The vision for the lab is to probe properties from the micro to the macro scale to accelerate the use of sustainable cementitious materials.

Structural Engineering

• Cornell Fracture Group (Warner)
  The Cornell Fracture Group conducts both scientific and engineering research aimed at understanding and predicting the deformation and failure of structures. 
   
• Earls Group
  The Earls Group is concerned with developing novel mathematical and computational approaches that enable new understanding concerning the actual condition, and future performance of complex natural and engineered systems. 
   
• Grigoriu Group
  Grigoriu's research focuses on random vibration, stochastic calculus, stochastic differential equations, stochastic partial differential equations, numerical methods for solving stochastic problems, probabilistic models for microstructures, wind/earthquake engineering, and Monte Carlo simulation.
